Chapter 84: Chapter 84: The Innocent Superstar Is Not to Be Messed With 34

Nie Yanbo knew well that simply exposing the potential pollution of the Baolan River wouldn’t solve the problem. Besides, the internet wasn’t as developed in those days, unlike today where an event can easily reach the homepage for thousands to see.

Moreover, with such a large factory involved, his report might not even get published.

So he planned to first obtain a pollution test report of the river water and gather some evidence about the chemical factory before proceeding to report it. The report definitely needed to be published as well.

But just as he started on this matter, he disappeared.

After this, the chemical factory quickly rectified the issues and treated the Baolan River’s pollution, although restoring it to its original state was impossible. A few years later, the factory relocated, and another factory took its place.

"What a coincidence," Ah Chen noted the timing of these events, precisely around when Qin Yun was pregnant and Su Yuixin was born.

The trouble faced by the Su Family at the time was most likely related to the chemical factory.

With such a large factory, and Baolan River not being a small stream, it surely wasn’t only Nie Yanbo who noticed something wrong. Once Nie Yanbo was dealt with, there were still other eyes. The depths of this issue were unknown, and who knows what was involved. The factory continued to operate, even though management was lax back then, and while the Su Family did make changes, there were surely all sorts of twisted dealings involved.

No matter what, killing someone is wrong.

Nie Yanbo has been missing for over twenty years, certainly not still alive, and most likely died back then, possibly with a connection to Su Zefang himself.

This person was indeed someone who liked to use extraordinary means.

If not for advances in technology today, Su Zefang might not have hesitated to be reckless as he once was, who knows how arrogant he could have been.

"Lv Caiyun didn’t tell her brother what she was planning to do, but in light of these events, her going to the Su Family as a maternity nurse was clearly an act of revenge. Nie Yanbo’s sudden disappearance, all for the pollution issue of the Baolan River, makes it hard for the Su Family to wash their hands of it," Shi Wei paused, then continued, "But after more than twenty years, finding Nie Yanbo’s body is probably very difficult."

You need evidence to act.

Even if these matters are exposed, the public can only speculate, and as long as Nie Yanbo’s body isn’t found, the blame can’t be pinned on Su Zefang.

This is why, after getting the information, Shi Wei couldn’t report it to the police and could only show it to her.

Of course, he hasn’t given up investigating and continues to hire people to keep digging. Nie Yanbo was a living person; there’s a chance that some insider might be found during the investigation.

"Teacher Shi, thank you for your hard work." Ah Chen put away the information, "Let’s not dwell on this for now. It’s nearly noon, let’s grab some lunch first."

Caught off guard by the compliment, Shi Wei felt a little uneasy.

It wasn’t even a big deal, and the problem still couldn’t be solved.

But eating is important, so he quickly took Ah Chen’s hand, nodded lightly at the people in the crew, greeted the director, and led her away.

"Oh, is this the romance period for our old cadre?"

"He’s totally in love."

"Luckily, the old cadre also has filming to do lately, otherwise, I’d get a daily dose of PDA."

"Speaking of which, the old cadre hasn’t even acted in a romance film yet. Now he’s got a girlfriend, and Chenchen’s also switching roles, I wonder if they would have a chance to work together. Just thinking about those two collaborating makes me imagine all sorts of scenarios."

Shi Wei is still busy, and today he’s here only because his scenes are scheduled for the evening.

After lunch, he took Ah Chen back to the set, reluctantly holding her hand, unwilling to let go.

Even though he has a girlfriend now, there’s still an emptiness in his heart, mainly because they’ve been busy since getting together, leaving little time to be with each other. Neither of them is the type to abandon other responsibilities for love, so they must handle their current affairs first.

"Don’t overwork yourself." Ah Chen advised, giving him a gentle push, "Drive safely. I’ll visit you when I’m free."

Shi Wei immediately perked up, "Okay."

He still didn’t leave, feeling like something was missing.

Ah Chen waved at him, "Come squat down a bit; I have something to tell you quietly."

How could Shi Wei refuse? He squatted down, wondering what needed to be whispered, and as soon as he did, he felt something on his cheek. Realizing what it was, he froze, as if struck by lightning.

Ah Chen pushed him again, "Go work seriously."

Shi Wei’s mind was blank until he got back in the car, and even then, his usual expressionless face couldn’t hide the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Mu Kejie couldn’t help himself, "Brother Shi, your old cadre image is falling apart, try to control yourself. Seeing your smiling mouth, you could be a clown. I don’t know what Chenchen sees in you."

Shi Wei glanced at him and asked nonchalantly, "Do you have a partner? Already quite grown, do your aunt and uncle urge you at home?"

Mu Kejie gritted his teeth; fine, he was the clown.

"Brother Shi, your scene tonight is no joke. If you stay this lovesick, losing focus would truly be laughable." Mu Kejie got a second wind, full of sarcasm.

Shi Wei ignored him; the kid knew nothing. Life is life, and work is work—he can distinguish well. Acting is something he loves, and he will surely take it seriously.

That evening, Mu Kejie found that Shi Wei performed even better than expected, surprising even the director, who’d worked with him multiple times, by calling his performance perfect.

The director even asked, "What did you do during the day to be in such a good state?"

Shi Wei: "Went to see Ah Chen."

Ah Chen even gave him a kiss.

How could his performance not be good?

He just felt energized, as if full of endless strength, capable of performing at his best in anything.

Director: "Uh!"

Unexpectedly stuffed with PDA, this Shi Wei is capable...

Director: "Then you should visit more often, haha." If seeing loved ones could lead to such performance, he’d encourage the whole team to date.

Shi Wei: "..."

But since the director said so, he wouldn’t hold back.

With a rare two-day break, Ah Chen planned to take a day to visit the Su Family; it had been a while since she went. She promised to keep in touch, and she couldn’t just talk the talk.

"They wouldn’t dare do anything."

Shi Wei: "I’m not reassured."

Ah Chen: "Then will you accompany me if you’re free?"

Bringing him along wouldn’t be a problem. Besides, she had yet to introduce her relationship to the Su Family.

Shi Wei was free again during the day, as this period mostly involved night scenes.

He figured Ah Chen wanted to see if she could find any cracks on the Su Family’s side regarding Nie Yanbo’s incident. Given the Su Family’s current state, he was worried they might go to desperate lengths.

Ah Chen indeed intended to try her luck with the Su Family.

The Su Family had lived in that villa for many years, and she’d stayed there for ten years. It was a lovely place; you never know what you might find.
